I feed my miniature poodle, Buddy (9) and my GSD, Filippo (2) a combination of commercial dog food (Pedigree) and the BARF diet. I believe in a diet rich in natural vitamin C which they get from the raw meaty bones and fresh fruits and vegetables. Both dogs are in incredible physical shape and have beautiful coats. My GSD had a leg problem when i first acquired him at 7 months. After having no success with anti-inflammatorys prescribed by the vet, along with leash exercise only, I began to feed him this way. Within three weeks on his new diet, the leg strengthened and he has never limped again. He is out, running and playing in off leash parks an average of 3 - 5 hours per day. Some folks find this way of feeding a dog strange, but you must remember, only "cooked" bones splinter, never give your dog cooked bones. Raw is the only way to go!!!
